Hye all,

Been reading through a few of latest post by you guys..so much info to take in..;p..eyes go blind already..I hope you guys can help me with some problem I currently have..

My sawi is 2006 secondhand..last few months I notice the handling isn't as sharp as it should be..and if there are 4 people riding at one time..my sawi bontot jatuh (not sexy) and if go thru bumps I can hear the tyres touching the body..tyres is much similar to stock albeit change to sports..I have tried replacing the absorber on all 4 (parts from Proton) but the problem is still there..have installed buffer at the spring coil-the one next to the back absorber (double on both back side)...I suspect its the spring coil itself that needed change as when I checked..the height difference is apparent..(the back right appears shorter when there are no loads)..

So the question is it the coil spring?..tho I kinda like the existing lowered look (w/o passenger) but not so much when I carry passengers..is there any coil spring that could maintain the current height yet can hold the weight also for comfort? I really miss the 'gripped' feeling when taking corners..or does sawi only allow me to use stock coil spring?

I don't think so..juz the absorber stock proton..tire profile is 175/50/15..should be ok right?



the right side which I dont think the problematic one..I have circled the spring I mentioned..dont know what its called



as you can see it is shorter marginally by a few inches..

p/s: in previous post the problematic one is the right side..the unproblematic one is left side..as per the pic attached..sorry for the confusion

Just the spring bush eyh? i tot kena tuka the whole spring itself..say if I juz change the spring bush..I'm worried about the tensile strength of the spring coil as it has been quite awhile it has been dat way (unproportionate pressure on each side)..summo I was thinking to change it to somewhat more comfortable ride should i change the whole spring..can ah?..ke dat one is for changing the absorber only? pardon my noobiness been pondering on sport spring vs comfortable spring..

boss kidmad..we are talking about the spring I circled tu kan? not the one on absorber one...just to make sure we are on the same page..previously I went to kedai papan klang told him bout the problem..he suggest put two each since he think its quite bad..I also dumb2 one agree je la..my fault..I know..
